    Have the BBC Stream channels (red button streams) moved? They dissappeared off my freesat box last night.

    Did you reset your box? I know a few channels (eg. Alba) moved, if you have a freesat branded box it should be a matter of the red button, however with non freesat boxes a retune might get them back for you

    They're on 11954 mHz, H pol, 27500 SR. See the updated 'FTA tuning guide' sticky.

    If you're referring to this thread - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055520627

    I'm not having much success. Have the streams been renamed? They were called Stream-0, Stream-1 etc but after a new scan using the above settings, I am seeing no such channel names.

    They're currently scanning in as "6711" to "6715" with a FTA box.

    I also notice I used to have stream-0 to stream-6, a total of 7 channels. Now according to polyfusion, there are only 5 channels. Anyone know where the remaining two are gone / called?

    I use a Sky box in the spare room as a FTA receiver.

    BBC News / BBC Alba showing as 'there is a technical fault etc.' in 'Other Channels' list.

    Did those frequencies change also?
